HAML vs Stan: What are the differences?

HAML: HTML Abstraction Markup Language - A Markup Haiku. Haml is a markup language that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the HTML of any web document, without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ERB, and ASP. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding HTML into the template, because it is actually an abstract description of the HTML, with some code to generate dynamic content; Stan: A Probabilistic Programming Language. A state-of-the-art platform for statistical modeling and high-performance statistical computation. Used for statistical modeling, data analysis, and prediction in the social, biological, and physical sciences, engineering, and business.

HAML can be classified as a tool in the "Languages" category, while Stan is grouped under "Machine Learning Tools".

HAML and Stan are both open source tools. HAML with 3.44K GitHub stars and 544 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Stan with 1.61K GitHub stars and 279 GitHub forks.
